Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

As he spoke, Professor Hopkins opened a file, and when the image was enlarged, everyone was shocked by what they saw.

This is a photo taken from an abnormal angle. Judging from the obstruction in the foreground, the expedition team appears to have been arrested by a group of people and taken to an island. And what is most shocking is that island!

Hopkins placed the previously photographed underwater ruins alongside this one, and everyone was shocked to discover that the island that had resurfaced above the sea was none other than the lost underwater city of Atlantis!

On those mottled stone buildings, one can even clearly see traces of marine life and seawater erosion. Looking from afar through the pictures, in the center of this lost city, a towering temple faintly emits an evil light similar to the Orichalcos barrier!

"Professor, are you saying that the headquarters of the Doma organization is the island of Atlantis, which has returned to the mainland?!" Yugi Muto couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"This...this is outrageous!" Honda said incredulously. "However, considering what has happened these past few days, it doesn't all make sense..."

Professor Hopkins nodded: "The energy emanating from that temple and the Orichalcos barrier is almost identical, so we can be fairly certain that it is the center of the Doma organization."

"However, although the island of Atlantis has returned to the mainland, it is still very dangerous to go there."

“Our expedition has been captured by the guards of Doma, and it is almost impossible for us to break in directly on our own.”

“But only by killing that guy named Daz can we end all of this!” Jonouchi clenched his fists, looking incredibly determined. He couldn’t leave Baron alone in that dangerous situation again.

Just then, Seto Kaiba's voice suddenly came from the TV in the RV. It was a news interview that was being broadcast. Seto Kaiba was standing in the conference room of KC Company, announcing something with a serious expression.

"Gentlemen, all the victims who are so eager to pin all the blame on the KC Group," Seto Kaiba said coldly, enunciating each word clearly, "to your questions, I can only offer one unchangeable fact as my answer."

"So that means KC Company is also a victim in this incident!!"

"An organization called Doma not only launched a hostile takeover attempt against the KC Group, but also carried out several highly targeted terrorist attacks!!"

"Failure to detect these rats hiding in the gutter beforehand was my incompetence and dereliction of duty as the president, but now, I have regained most of the KC Group's power and officially declared war on this disgusting terrorist organization!!"

Everyone was taken aback.

"That's... a seahorse?!"

"Has he already taken back the KC Group? That's really impressive..."

"If that's the case, then we can go and have a final battle with Dorma!!"

"That's right, Seto Kaiba has a sufficiently powerful military force, and we've also located Daz's position. As long as we can successfully reach Atlantis Island, the Doma Organization's conspiracy will be completely destroyed!!"

The series of good news immediately cheered everyone up.

Before they had even finished eating, everyone rushed to the phone, wanting to contact Seto Kaiba.

Just then, as the fiery red sun sank below the earth, a deafening roar, as if the sky had been blown apart, came from overhead, plunging the entire world into endless darkness!

Everyone was startled and looked up.

Tens of thousands of meters in the sky, a crack slowly opened, emanating a terrifying, demonic red light. Finally, the crack transformed into a gigantic eyeball, rolling, scanning, and coldly surveying the world plunged into darkness. Several dark "clouds" drifted down from the sky, transforming into countless bat-like demons that swarmed towards the earth.

Chapter 241 Heading to the Final Battleground—The Lost Island of Atlantis

As dusk drew to a close, a towering emerald beam of light rose from the island of Atlantis above the sea.

Inside the temple, filled with candlelight, the Doma organization was conducting its internal trials and punishments.

"Boom..."

A reddish-brown-haired boy was shoved heavily to the ground. He was Baron, one of the four swordsmen who had deliberately dispelled the Orichalco barrier to help Jonouchi.

The other three musketeers—Rafiru, Antidote, and Ameruda—stood aside, each looking at Baron with different expressions and feelings.

"Baron, you've really disappointed me."

Standing on high ground, Daz, dressed in a white robe, slowly turned around and looked down coldly with his heterochromatic eyes.

"Tsk..." Baron, heavily injured, struggled to his feet and then said to Daz, "That's right, I let Jonouchi go... I take full responsibility for this..."

Daz sneered, "Take on? Fine, then go be a sacrifice to the new god."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four swordsmen of Dorma all changed drastically.

In the plan, Jonouchi was just an insignificant sacrifice. Even if Baron let him go, there was no reason for him to be executed!

Just as the other three musketeers were about to defend Baron, the card in Daz's hand—Orichalcos Barrier—was already swung down. Knowing that there was no hope of escape, Baron knelt in the emerald green evil light with a relieved expression. A few seconds later, having had all his soul drained, he collapsed helplessly to the ground.

According to the rules, to make the target a sacrifice to the Orichalcos barrier, one must defeat him through a duel. However, Baron, whose mental energy was exhausted, was powerless to fight Daz again. Even if he won, he would not be able to escape from here. So, almost as if he had given up, he became one of the souls sealed on the temple wall.

"Click—click—"

The specially made duel disk fell to the ground. Daz glanced at it, and a servant carefully picked up Baron's deck and presented it to him.

“Staying alive for a traitor like this will only cause trouble,” Daz said coldly. “In that case, it’s better to take back all his power.”

"Baron's deck contains immense power, and with the addition of these cards and spirits collected from other places, the ritual to resurrect the new god can finally begin."

With that, Daz waved his hand and threw Baron's entire deck into the blazing brazier.

The remaining servants came one after another carrying trays, dropping in countless cards at once.

The emerald green flames grew more intense at a visible speed, and the serpentine grooves on the stone wall were gradually filled with new energy.

Below the stage, Antid, Rafiru, and Ameruda stared wide-eyed at the green fireflies that were constantly converging on the snake's head and eyes.

"Have the offerings... finally been collected?"

"Without the three Egyptian God cards, it really took a lot more time..."

Once all preparations were complete, Daz waved his hand, dismissing the rest of the group.

He stood before the fiercely burning emerald green flames, opened his arms, and began chanting in an ancient language with a history of tens of thousands of years. In some ways, those incantations didn't even belong to this dimension.

With each chilling chant uttered, the eerie fire in the temple burned even brighter, and swirling, sinister winds echoed throughout the temple hall. In an instant, the spirits sacrificed as offerings began to wail in agony.

"Whoosh——————————————"

When Daz finished reciting the last sentence, the once noisy temple fell silent, and darkness enveloped the entire island of Atlantis.

But the next second, as the sun completely sank into the distant sea, the entire golden temple suddenly burst forth with endless, intense light, making the hall, which was only lit by candlelight, brighter than any brightly lit room!

"boom------------------"

As dazzling light filled the air, the gray-white serpent god stone wall in front of it collapsed with a crash. Amidst countless fragments, a dark green giant shadow spiraled upwards along with the blazing flames that shot straight into the sky, eventually flying into the high sky shrouded in dark clouds.

Thunderous booms echoed through the clouds, and the pillar of light emanating from the center of the temple grew stronger than ever before!

This extremely spectacular scene left everyone who had never seen anything like it speechless.

Bathed in the flames, Daz, drenched in sweat, turned around again and coldly commanded:

"Now, the new god has been resurrected, but it will take some time for him to regain all his energy."

"Your next task is to stop anyone who wants to invade the island."

"A while ago, a human scientific expedition team investigated this place. Now, the arrival of the new god has brought destructive phenomena to the whole world. It is estimated that fearless humans will come here soon."

"Yes!" the remaining three musketeers of Doma answered in unison.

Before they left, Daz gave them a final threat: "You lot had better not make the same mistake as Baron. If you can't stop Pharaoh and his people, then your only fate will be death!!"

The three men's expressions hardened, and they all walked out of the main hall.

Before long, the roar of motorcycles filled the air as they sped off towards the edge of the island, each with their own clear destination.

"An anomaly... what kind of anomaly could it be?" Antid rode his motorcycle, facing the damp, fishy sea breeze, and gazed at the distant horizon with a puzzled expression. "Even though the new god has been resurrected, I can't feel anything..."

Just then, a deathly chilling aura emanated from overhead. Antid instinctively looked up and saw a dark red "cloud" rapidly approaching the human city!

Upon closer inspection, the dark cloud was actually composed of countless demonic spirits!

At the same time, high in the sky, ten thousand meters above, a gigantic eyeball opened from the torn sky—a snake's eye with pupils as thin as slits!

A strong sense of unease washed over him, and Antid shivered violently, quickly lowering his head, unable to look any further...

Campsite by the lake.

The sudden change in the sky threw everyone into complete panic. Countless demon elves flew down from the sky and began to attack with great precision.

These bat-shaped demonic spirits seem to have humans as their primary target; they hardly destroy buildings, but instead constantly attack humans.

"Quick!! Put out the campfire!!"

Someone suddenly shouted this, and You Che and the others quickly extinguished the fire and hid.

Countless bat demons flew over the heads of the crowd, and this continued for more than half a minute before the group of demon elves finally passed.

Trembling with fear, the group cautiously peeked out from their cover. Seeing that the "dark clouds" in the sky were flying in other directions, they breathed a sigh of relief and retreated back into the RV.

"Damn it... what's going on?!"

"Has the Doma Organization's plan already succeeded?"

"According to the records, this should be the prophecy of the elves destroying the world..."

"What can we do then? Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"

"No!" King Yu appeared from the Millennium Puzzle, his face grim. "We absolutely cannot let that Daz's plot succeed! Even if we die, we must die in a final battle with him!! Kaiba should have already made some moves. Our plan remains unchanged: contact him first, then we'll march together on Atlantis!!"

A despairing darkness enveloped the entire world.

Those facing certain death had no choice but to fight to the death.

The call was quickly connected to a staff member of the KC Group. After learning that the callers were named "Yusho" and "Yugi," they immediately transferred the call to the president, Seto Kaiba, who was piloting the plane.

"Game? Game?" Seto Kaiba sneered. "How are you guys doing? My capable subordinate is still unconscious from trying to save you."

“Seahorse, this isn’t the time to talk about this,” Youche said. “We’ve already found out about Dorma…”

"The headquarters of the Doma Organization?" Seto Kaiba scoffed. "I've known about that place for a long time. It's just an ancient city that accidentally floated to the surface a while ago. And now, I'm on my way there!!"

Wang Yang was shocked: "You already know?! Seahorse, don't go alone, we'll find a way to get there as soon as possible!"

Seto Kaiba said dismissively, "Knowing this isn't difficult. My power and that of the KC Group are far greater than you can imagine!"

"As for you, if you want to come here to watch me defeat Daz, then head to the nearest airport. Keiping will arrange everything for you~"

Kaiba Keihei's somewhat worried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother, maybe we should wait and see what happens to Youchai..."

"Hmph! Absolutely not needed!" the arrogant Seto Kaiba said proudly. "To tell you the truth, Yugi, just recently, I obtained an incredibly powerful new force!! It's a Dragon Card that can fuse with Trap Cards!!"

"With this card, I can easily defeat that guy named Daz!!"

"Alright, enough talk. I'll end this farce as quickly as possible. If you want to visit, come over as soon as you can!"

The call was abruptly ended as soon as he finished speaking.

"Damn it! Even at a time like this, this guy is still so arrogant!!" Jonouchi said angrily.
